The Wizardry Of Id

Tuesday Comic Strip Day.

Recently I got hold of a two year selection of early Wizard of Id Sundays. After scanning them I intend to show all of htem. The group is quite large. For the first half year, shown here, it is slightly more than half of all Sundays, after that it gets to be more every month. These Sundays start in October 1965, a year after the strip had started and quite close to the first Sundays. The Wizard of Id is a strip that found it's style quite early on, so you won't see a lot of difference between these strips and those of ten years after thta. Except maybe that they are even funnier than the later ones. The strips shown here are my earliest ones and then the first half of 1967.

The Number One Research Site

I have been doing this blog for more than seven years now. I find more and more that it is used by comic book, newspaper strip and cartoon historians as a tool for their research or additional illustrations. And I encourage that. I have larger uncleaned scans for all self scanned images on this blog for those want to use it for their book or article. Just ask and we'll get something going. Family members of artists mentioned here or anyone who is interested in donating scans is encouraged to make contact. By the way, the quickest way to reach me these days is through Facebook.
